Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the association between functional dentition and a prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a nationally representative sample of the Brazilian population.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS). The PNS is representative of the Brazilian population. The associations between self-reported diagnoses of DM and/or CKD and the absence of functional dentition were assessed using multilevel logistic regression models, adjusted for sociodemographic and behavioral variables, such as age, sex, skin color, income, education, and smoking status.
Results
Functional dentition was absent in 9.3% of the sample (95%CI, 8.9–9.7). Additionally, 8.8% (95%CI, 8.5–9.0) reported a previous diagnosis of DM, and 1.4% (95%CI, 1.3–1.5) a prior diagnosis of CKD. The proportion of individuals with both CKD and DM was 0.29% (95%CI, 0.27–0.32). In adjusted models, DM was significantly associated with the absence of functional dentition (OR, 1.16; 95%CI, 1.07; 1.23, p < 0.001). No significant association was observed for CKD (OR, 1.06; 95%CI, 0.89; 1.26, p = 0.48) or for individuals with both DM and CKD (OR, 1.08; 95%CI, 0.74; 1.57, p = 0.66).
Conclusion
Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of functional dentition loss in the Brazilian population. Promoting collaboration between dental and medical professionals is essential to improve the prevention and management of tooth loss, particularly among individuals with diabetes, ultimately contributing to better overall health outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954. The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines. It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories. The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published. The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor. Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
